Ibanez SR Series SRF705 Solid Bass Guitar SRF705BBF

So many tones!

The two soap bar humbucking pickups each have their own volume control and their active preamp has bass and treble adjustment. The piezo pickup in the bridge has a separate preamp and its own volume and tone controls. Put together, you have a tonal variety unmatched by other bass guitars in this price range.

The neck-thru design feels amazing when going for those high notes, even if it is difficult to stay precise throughout the 2 1/2 octave scale on a fretless bass.

Disclaimer: the one I purchased was a factory second, so it required some work in the form of redone soldering. It also wound up needing a piece of foam added to the rear control plate to keep the controls from grounding out on it. I do not have experience with a factory fresh model. Once those (cheap and easy to fix) problems were taken care of, I have not had any complaints in the subsequent year.Read full review

Very pretty bass, lovely tones

It feels it's the closest I could get to a stand up bass in an electric bass format. Just played a gig with it; I got comments like "exquisite tones". Just love it. Now I need to get back to working on intonation, but it's pretty easy thanks to the marks on the side of the neck.
It's a pretty light bass too, easier on the back and shoulder.Read full review
